The Fordland Memorial Library will be closed Wednesday, Nov 27 through Saturday, Nov 30, for the Thanksgiving holiday. This gives the library volunteers time to spend with their friends and family.

Vickie Johnson will help serve our free hotdog lunch that includes a hotdog, chips, a cookie and a drink for all those who attend.

Crafts will be a part of this event.

Please join us for the Fordland Memorial Library’s October storytime at the Chateau Charmant–Fordland’s own castle! Tai Kimes, aka “Lady Christmas”, will be reading and directing activities for those who attend. Children are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes, but it is not required.

Check out the event on Facebook at the Fordland Memorial Library page. There is a link to register, but that is not required. However, it would be helpful to know how many are attending to make sure there are enough supplies available for all those who come for fun.

Get your pictures taken while you are at the Chateau Charmant castle. It makes a great background.

If you want to meet at the library parking lot about 10:15, a group can drive together. Or just meet at the castle by 11 am.

Chateau Charmant castle is located at: 1700 Martins Branch Rd, Fordland, MO
